Superior Rating in Concert for the Gerdes JH Band

From Ms. Jones:

What an interesting year we've had, I know no one was expecting the Friday before Spring Break to be our last one together. I miss getting to make music with all of you in the Band Hall!

Sadly, the 2019-2020 school year will be my last year as your Junior High Band Director in Luling. I wholeheartedly wish I could have said goodbye in person and that we could have had our last concert together.

This was a very tough decision for me to make but I know you will all continue to succeed and grow in music together next year. I want everyone to know that I will cherish all the musical memories we created!

Sincerely,

Ms. Jones

We have approval for students to pick up instruments from the Band Hall on Thursday April 2nd from 12pm-3pm! We will have tape markers outside the Band Hall that we ask everyone use to ensure social distancing. One student will be allowed in the Band Hall at a time to get their instrument/music. We hope to see you there! Please e-mail me with any questions: [email protected]
